How To Hear From God - NEW ENGLISH EDITION: School of the Holy Spirit Series 7 of 12, Stage 1 of 3

HOW TO HEAR FROM GOD

I wrote this booklet because of the many inquiries I have received from believers, some through letters and others through personal visits, all concerned about how to hear from God! I was surprised at the first time when some of the inquiries came from people I regarded as very mature Christians. Soon, I realized that this was one problem that actually cut across all cadres of believers, yet one problem that rarely received any attention in our various churches!
No wonder people find it easier to say, “my pastor said…”, rather than “The Lord said”! And so, when the pastor slips off, every one also derails with him, because none can make independent inquiries directly from the Lord. That is very much like the Israelites in the Wilderness who could only hear and quote Moses, but dared not interact with their God directly. In the process, they all perished for they knew not the ways of God! What a dangerous thing at this end-time for any believer to depend entirely on the pastor!
It pained my heart the more when I realized that the Lord was actually speaking to many of these people, only that, like Samuel, they could not recognize His voice. All they needed therefore, was someone to direct them, just as Eli did to Samuel. And the Eli's of our time appear to be too busy with some other issues.
If you are one of those who have been suffering in silence for so long on this issue of hearing from your Father in Heaven, you should now rejoice for your need will soon be met, by the Lord Himself, through this little treaties.

May the Lord Jesus graciously bless you as you read. Amen.

About HOLY GHOST SCHOOL

God's End-time Programme for

the Preparation and Perfection of

the Bride of Christ

That He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing, but that it should be holy, and without blemish (Ephesians 5: 27). - LaFAMCALL (End-time) Ministries

There is a new move of God, called HOLY GHOST SCHOOL. It is very simple, yet very powerful. It is simple and powerful in the sense that, through it, God will transform your life and the lives of all members of your family within a short time! Problems that have been there for years, which have refused to go despite all efforts, all these will be washed away by the WATER OF LIFE, which is flowing from the throne of God. This Water of Life will touch you through HOLY GHOST SCHOOL. All these will be done without your effort and struggles!

Yes, in all these you will not be required to do much. You only have to rest in God's presence while He goes about, doing all these for you. God does not need our fleshly struggles anymore. He now wants us to enter into His presence and enjoy His REST, while He concludes the work that He began in our lives. This is the work of PERFECTION He is now doing in the lives of His children – through Holy Ghost Schooling. It is one of God's end-time programmes to make the bride of Christ ready! (Rev 19: 7).

It is the sweet wine He reserved for us, for the last days. The New Wine is now being served.

 In the LAST DAYS … many people will come and say come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD… He will teach us His ways, so that we may walk in His paths. (Isaiah 2: 2, 3)

 I will INSTRUCT thee and TEACH thee in the way which thou shall go. I will GUIDE thee with Mine eye. (Psalms 32: 8)

 But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, (He) will TEACH you ALL THINGS … (John 14: 26)

WHAT IS HOLY GHOST SCHOOL?

Holy Ghost School is God's end-time Discipleship Programme – by Revelation. It is a new thing in our time. It is a new move of God which He specifically kept for the Last days. He revealed this to His Prophet, Isaiah and confirmed it through Micah, to show how important it is.

In the LAST DAYS the mountains of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, come ye and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord … And HE WILL TEACH US His ways, and we will walk in His paths …(Isaiah 2: 2,3).

This prophecy is repeated word for word in Micah 4: 1, 2 and it simply means that in the last days the presence of God will be exalted above every other pursuit of man. The mountain of God means God's presence. Other hills means things men are pursuing in their self-will. In the Last Days there will be shaking of nations, and fear will come upon all. As end-time calamities sweep across nations, fear will come upon all men. Men will then abandon their selfish, carnal pursuits and will run to God for protection and safety. In other words, a day is coming when everyone will seek God and pursue Him above any other desire. On that day the Mountain of the Lord (God's presence) would be desired above every other thing.

It further said that in that time, men will seek God just for one thing, that He may teach us HIS WAYS.

People would become tired of seeking miracles and blessings and all that. Now they will seek just one thing – knowledge of God. Moreover, they will no longer depend on man's adulterated teachings. They will rather go to God Himself, to learn directly from Him the ways of LIFE!

This is the Holy Ghost School we are talking about. God revealed it to His servants and told them it would take place in the LAST DAYS, Now, everything shows that we are in the Last Days. Therefore Holy Ghost School has taken off, as God said it should be.

FURTHER MEANING OF HOLY GHOST SCHOOL

In practice, Holy Ghost School simply means somebody learning directly from God! When you separate yourself to God, and allow Him to teach you, and lead you in the way you should go, then you are in the Holy Ghost School. That is all! It simply means, one being taught and being led by the Holy Spirit (Romans 8: 14).

WHO IS THE TEACHER IN HOLY GHOST SCHOOL?

In John 14: 26, Jesus said that the Holy Spirit would be our Teacher and that He would teach us all things we need to know in this life! In Isaiah 2: 3 and Psalms 32: 8, God Himself says He is to teach us His ways. 1 John 2: 27 says the Anointing (that is the Holy Spirit) is to teach us everything,
